1998 Nissan Terrano II SE review from UK and Ireland
"A much underrated 4WD"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased the vehicle I was very disappointed with the lack of any performance. The vehicle was booked into a Nissan main dealership here in the UK. After some three days their so called "technicians" were unable to diagnose the lack of power & heavy exhaust smoke. I arranged for the vehicle to go to a local diesel injection specialist & yes, you've guessed it, it was the infamous Air Flow Meter! Some £350.00 lighter in my pocket the vehicle was transformed!
General comments?
I have since fitted a plug in power box & it now is even better! Thoroughly recommended if you want to surprise other 4WD drivers! This makes the Terrano really move!
I have also fitted an electric fan in place of the standard "windmill" viscous type. This gives quicker warm up in our climate & improves fuel consumption by 10% too.
No other faults have yet shown, but I've only covered 5000 miles since purchase, but otherwise I'm well impressed with the vehicle.
